Joe Bonamassa Plays 1919 Gibson Style U Harp Guitar — Video
|
I can only dream of being 1/100th of the guitar player Joe is, but I've got to say the guitar sounded lousy to me and he only strummed the low base string one time on the harp side of the instrument. Was expecting a much more integrated playing style between harp and guitar. Better than I could ever do, but disappointing for me as I guess I expected more from Joe.

Cool!
Remember also that Martin Taylor plays one with Dave Grisman on the Tone Poems II album. |
Joe is an absolutely amazing player. That's for sure. I like this video...
|
And this one too...
|
Joe is awesome and I rank him amongst the top players in the world which is why I was expecting more from the OP video.

Pretty cool vid, thanks for posting. As previously noted, I am a bit disappointed that he wasn't playing the harp part of the instrument more than just the one note at the end.
|
Can't we have just one guitar forum without Joe Bonamassa threads?

Nope...:guitar: |
I'm a big JB fan but that wasn't playing a harp guitar.
|
A little disappointed someone of his talent didn't attempt to play the harp part of that guitar more.

It simply doesn't count as harp guitar playing unless you play an independent bass line on the sub bass strings:

I still remember fondly your Flammang you showed me at FPR years ago. Wonderful instrument. The OP's link failed to play Joe's vid to me and I'm fine with that. I was horrified by his act when I heard it live, and nothing I've seen or heard on youtube has changed my mind. I'd prefer to never come across him or his "music" again this time around on this sphere . . . . . . |
I heard "Driving Towards the Daylight" on Sirius about a month ago and was just taken aback by the guitar playing of this guy named Joe Bonamassa. I had never heard of him before that. Wow! I could I have not heard of him? Anyway. I became a fan right then and there.

I've had the honour of meeting Joe twice. First time, he took me and my son on a personal tour of his stage rig. Second time was over a year later and he remembered my name. He is one of the most humble, nicest guys I have met, not to mention hard working, which is why he enjoys the success he does to this day. But that success will always trigger the envy of those who wish they were 1/100th as successful but lack the commitment, work ethic or requisite skill to do so. I'd prefer it if guitar forums didn't have members like you in them... |

Joe and Danny suit my tastes just fine... |

You can dislike his style but his talent is unmistakable. |

His best stuff, in my opinion and I like both of the albums you listed above. |

Many moons ago! How are you? How's your daughter? I've still got that wonderful Flammang, of course. I recall another fellow at the workshop who was enamored of the guitar: http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/u...psf8089772.jpg |

Chelsea got offered the chef job there and demurred in favor of her then-boyfriend. She now has a full mobile kitchen: http://chelseasrealfood.com/ It's doing well. We vended at one of Vanessa's mini-fests last year. We even have a micro-farm in Meigs county with chickens and ducks and a 1939 Ford tracktor oh-boy! |
